Today is the day summer forgot. We had warm over the summer, but today's going to be proper hot! We're headed for 38 degrees in Sydney and only a touch cooler on the coastal fringes. It'll be the hottest day in…

Mixed fortunes outside this morning. If you were up for sunrise we had a good one; mellow purple tones lighting up the clouds while a warm yellow sun snuck up between the horizon and a band of heavy clouds. That was all before…

Nice day out there for the first day of the new season. It's warm and still and while the east swell may have eased there's a small bump out of the south.

My expectations were knee-high this morning. First glance out the window looked clouded over and with only a little bit of mixed wind swells I figured surfing might have been for the desperate. I even contemplated…

Couple of nice surprises out on the water this morning. Firstly, we had a light westerly wind puffing off the sand. It wasn't quite strong enough to smooth out all the bumps but it did a job taking the edges off an ocean…

It's a cool blustery morning out there, there's the odd shower and the beach is teeming with competitors in town for the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships which begin today. The State Championships haven't had a smooth…

Just a little bit of nor'east wind swell on the ocean today. Worth a paddle... yeeeeah, nah, maybe. Worth a swim? You bet ya! The water is 24 degrees and singing out your name.

Morning! Hope you got Monday started right. After a still, humid evening last night, the best way I could think to start the week was a cool dip in the ocean, surfboard optional. There's not a whole lot of swell on offer…

The day started with clear skies and a flawless sunrise with plenty of people soaking it up in the water and on the sand. These later sunrises (6:32am today) are pretty user friendly, although they do put a little time squeeze…

Sunshine is back and Manly Beach was bathed in it this morning. Get set for a nice little run of sunshine and warm weather in Sydney with the peak on Saturday at 32 degrees. There's some good beach days ahead…

Anyone that surfed this morning will probably tell you that today's photos don't tell the real story. On paper all the elements were there; easing 3-5ft east swell, dropping tide and a surprise unscheduled offshore straight…

The swell's kicked up a notch, the wind's swung around to a sou'westerly direction and the waves are on the pump. It's no walk in the park but if you're prepared to do the hard yards and you've got the skills, you might find…

After a false start yesterday morning, TC Gabrielle's swell started to fill in late in the evening yesterday and this morning is pushing in with force. It's double overhead on the sets and looking a touch raw with the stiff

Morning and a happy Friday to you. The early morning storms seem to have drifted out to sea, for now at least. There's a chance they'll be back later in the day.

Back down to earth this morning. The onshore wind is up and wave quality is down. Good thing the water temp is still sitting around 24 degrees, a beckoning invitation to submerge in the Tasman for a morning surf or swim.

Wow! What a weekend we've just had in Sydney! Saturday was a 10 out of 10 day. From sunrise to sunset I didn't see a cloud in the sky all the while the wind blew a light offshore grooming 2 foot of peaky east swell through water clarity…

It's fair to say is kinda pumping out there this morning; a surprise gift thanks to a gusty evening of nor'easters. It's 2-3ft, with the odd bigger one, offshore and clean - everywhere along the beaches would have waves today …

We're in for a run of warm summer days with clear blue skies. I'm calling that between now and Sunday may well be the best beach days of the summer (for lounging, not for surfing). The water is warm and clear and with a light…
